My partner wants his way all the time

Dear Gaone: Please keep my identity anonymous. I have been in a relationship for three years now. My partner is a great man. He inspires me to be a better person. He understands me. He is romantic. We are compatible and connect at a deeper level. The main problem I have with him is that he does not know how to handle conflict. He wants to have his way all the time. I compromise in most areas of our relationship and do not have a problem with him having his way. However, once in a while I wanna have my way and he does not indulge me. He wants to rule and dominate me. If I decide to go against his advice he overreacts, utters profanities, intimidates me or pouts for prolonged periods. I have begun to feel powerless and worthless in our love. I now grudgingly give in to all of my partner’s demands but I am dying on the inside. Could I be in an abusive relationship? Kindly advise.
